Please describe how your risk and opportunity identification processes are applied at both company and asset level

The risk management procedure related to climate change risks and opportunities basically involves consideration of regulatory and reputational risks, which may have the highest impact on the demand for our products (prioritization criteria). The procedure is mostly influenced by the climate change awareness among the top-level management and the requests/feedback of our consumers and retailers concentrating more on climate change/energy efficiency related performance. The assessment of risks is mainly relying on monitoring of environmental data related to climate change such as GHG emissions and emission intensity (i.e. GHG emissions per product) which is being collected and processed by the Management Systems unit. Zorlu Risk Management Group and Chief of Management Systems regularly report to the responsible executive board member and observed risks (if any) are being discussed by the Board and actions are being defined by the top management. Physical risks (risks/opportunities at an asset level) are also assessed by Zorlu Risk Management Group and related departments like IT,Maintenance&Investment etc..They continuously evaluate Vestel factory and office facilities.

CC2.2

Is climate change integrated into your business strategy?

Yes

CC2.2a

Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process

Having received significant attention of governments, investors and also individuals over the last decades, the risks associated with the climate change are inevitably affecting the manufacturing industry as well as all industries, although the risks are assumed not to have considerably higher impacts as in the case of energy sector and/or energy intensive industries. As Vestel Electronics, we are placing ‘environmental sustainability’ and decreasing the ecological footprint of our products at the core of our business strategy. Furthermore, as being the manufacturer of high technology energy efficient products, which help our consumers to actually reduce

their footprint, we have increased awareness on the impacts of climate change on our business. Climate drivers are important factors that we pay attention in building our broad company strategy that addresses; •Caring for the environment and climate starting from the designing phase of our products to the manufacturing phase •Prioritizing investment and expansion in manufacturing of the most energy efficient products in our production portfolio •Increasing RD activities and dedicated budget for developing new production methodologies and products with decreased ecological footprint •Continuously looking for opportunities to reduce waste and enable use of materials suitable for reuse and recycle • Promoting use of new technologies to save energy and to boost energy efficiency in all operations •Raising employees’ and consumers’ awareness on environmental protection and energy efficiency •Ensuring effective communication to stakeholders and proper disclosure of environmental and climate performance The basic influence of climate change in our strategy is that we have taken the first step in preparing our company for the impacts by working on understanding how our business activities and investments are affected by climate change and preparing the infrastructure to make it a part of our management culture also by identifying the interdependencies between climate change risks and other risks relevant to our company. Investing in R&D has always been valued by our company, and R&D that is directed to serving for eliminating climate risks, such as developing practices and/or products that improve efficiency and/or eliminate emissions both on the production side and on the consumer side, has become our leading strategy. While building our climate strategy, in the short term, we have started by quantifying our emissions broadly and we are planning to prepare a detailed carbon emission inventory and seek for third party verification. In the medium term, we will also be identifying and quantifying the carbon impacts along our value chain. In the long terms we will be planning for putting targets related to our climate performance. On the product end, our strategy has basically led to manufacturing of Energy Class A TVs and to our decision in expanding business in manufacturing of LED TVs&eco TVs and LED lightings in 2014 by increasing our production capacity. We also spared an unlimited R&D budget for developing products with improved environmental performance. Vestel Electronics, which is already a strong market player, is gaining distinctive competency through implementation of its business strategy, which enables our company to be the manufacturer of most energy efficient products with decreased ecological footprint, which are being preferred by the environmentally conscious consumers, who are increasing with a sharp pace.

Relevance of

Scope 1 emissions from this source

Relevance of

Scope 2 emissions excluded from this source

Explain why the source is excluded

Some chemical groups used (adhesives, aerosols, oils,paraffin waxes, solvents, solvent based paints, chemicals used for test purposes, EPS etc.) are at a negligible level

Emissions are not relevant


These chemicals were calculated and determined that they cause greenhouse gas emission at a negligible level; for this reason they are not included in greenhouse gas inventory.

Gases used for controlling gas and smoke detectors


No emissions from this source

Greenhouse gases from gases used for the Gas and smoke detector control (avg. 1lt.) has been neglected due to having a very low effect in total greenhouse gas.

CO2 and CH4 emission emitted by the waste water treatment plant


No emissions from this source

During treatment at wastewater treatment plant, greenhouse gas emissions occur as a result of bacteria activities. As CO2 and CH4 emission created during phsyical treatment is not set forth at "IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Volume 5: Waste, Chapter 6: Wastewater Treatment and Discharge" it is not included in calculations.

“Sustainability” is the key element of Vestel’s Environmental Compliance Management practices. Vestel reduces the environmental impacts of all the processes from production of raw material to disposal of product, complies with all the environmental law and regulations during the life cycle of product and commits this approach with its Environmental Policy. In order to manage the movement of raw materials into Vestel, certain aspects of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished goods out of Vestel and toward the end consumer, Vestel has started SCM(Supply Chain Excellence Project) in 2014. The SCM will help us to reduce total supply chain management cost, to terminate non-value adding processes , to increase productivity and to reach perfect order fulfilment. In the frame of this project , Vestel has been member of SCC(supply Chain council) and made investments on SNC(Supplier Network Collaboration) , SLC (Supplier Lifecycle Management) and TM(Transportation Management) modules. Also Vestel established Supply Chain Academy and started to train 140 SCM process employees from different levels at VESTEL.
